East meets West. It’s an old phrase - but we’re not here for clichés. We’re here for collisions. Cultures, flavours, energies, and just about everything in between. Bordered by the cool confidence of Soho, Covent Garden, and Leicester Square, whilst in the raw heart of Chinatown, The Perception strikes a dynamic and distinctive blend of the area’s Western End. Our location is the epitome of East meets West. Our cocktails don’t play it safe — they fuse fire with finesse, tradition with rebellion. Each drink is a blend of worlds, a remix of East and West that doesn’t just balance - it ignites.
